In the view of [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar]] the two lifestyles, householder and '''renunciate''', are equally dignified. Neither is inherently more elevated spiritually; rather, spiritual elevation depends entirely upon sincerity of spiritual practice. However, Sarkar notes that the lifestyle of the householder is somewhat more difficult than the lifestyle of the renunciate. Renunciates are obliged to serve only one family, the universal family. Householders, on the other hand, must balance the obligation of service to their small family with the obligation of service to their larger (universal) family.<ref>{{cite discourse | In the view of [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar]] the two lifestyles, householder and '''renunciate''', are equally dignified.
